Monday morning in the centre consule the Written part (where the radio stations, time etc can be seen) was all fuzzy so you couldn't really read it. This happened once before about a week after getting the car one cold morning but it righted itself after about 10 minutes.

I just drove the car lunchtime Monday and home in the evening and it was still the same. I thought it might have been due to the frost yesterday morning but as it was still fuzzy later in the day it mustn't be that

Yesterday morning it started out the same but it flicked back to normal for a few seconds about 3 times on the way to work but went again - do you think it could be a loose wire/connection?

This morning it was okay for about the first mile of the journey (all up hill!!) and then went back to fuzzy again

Anyone else experience anything similiar?

Had a similar thing once in my 1st Gen Cooper S, it was when it was really cold. It never happened again. Was it very cold?

It was -2 Monday morning and very frosty but it was 7 degrees on way home both evenings and yesterday and today it was about 3 degrees

I thought it was the weather related too but as its warmed up and is still fuzzy I'm not so sure.

Away all next week so just booked it into the dealer on the 19th

Strange one that, let us know what they discover.

Had something a little similar happen to mine yesterday morning - when searching for songs through my iPod connection the info on the screen was coming up really slow - i just put it down to the cold weather (-5 deg) as it returned to normal after a while once the car had heated up
